I guess we could add Peter Lynn Charger to the list as well then... Thanks for the advice guys. I'm sick of pulling out leading edges when a valve delaminates. The DNA looks great, but I'm pretty sure I'm not cool enough for a Waiman kite. I looked at the website and couldn't figure out WTF it was t...

What companies still make a kite without a single inflation point system?
Thanks

Look great Jim! Makes me almost wish we had snow here!
Cheers,

Congratulations Kinsley! Although we have never met, Kinsley helped me a great deal via e-mails back in 2001 while I was self teaching myself to kite, and I was always amazed how generously he gave his time to a newbie kiter. I can't think of any better ambasador for our sport, or a more stoked kite...

Thanks for all the honest, unhyped answers guys. I have flown Arcs since 2001 when I visit friends in Kitchener Canada. I live in Grenada in the Caribbean, and they are kind enough to let me use their gear. I've never really been able to judge the kites well, as I am usually fighting off hypothermia...

Leaky bladders? What are you riding? I get 250-300 riding days a year and never have leaky bladders. Can't you just fix 'em? You've never had a leaky bladder? That's really hard to believe and goes against most peoples experiences. You must have some top secret, super duper, extra special bladders!...

I've been kiting for 10 years, and have finally had it with leaky bladders. Can anyone tell me why the Arcs haven't caught on? The design seems simple, effective and reasonably efficient, but you seldom ever see one.
